Watching my friends become parents has been an incredible gift. Nothing has been more of a picture of God and his unconditional love for us than seeing our friends bring life into the world - knowing that their precious one was so deeply wanted, prayed for and loved far before her life was even conceived.

I am so thrilled for this sweet family, who have become very special to us over the past few years. It was such a treat to meet this sweet little girl, and see how deeply in love her parents are with her and with each other.

Also - isn't her Nursery incredible? Linnie has such an eye for beautiful things, and I love how much of herself she has poured into their home. My favourite detail is the gorgeous framed photo of her mom.

Ella was only 5 days old when I took these photos, and it was such an honour to document one moment of their first week together.
